Republican presidential candidate and frontrunner Donald Trump remains unimpressed by members of the GOP establishment.

After former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) announced his endorsement of Trump’s rival, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the real estate mogul did what he does best: Remind everyone that Cantor was a loser.

Formerly one of the most powerful Republicans in the nation, Cantor stunningly lost his primary race in 2014 to a political novice and college professor, Dave Brat.

Here’s Cantor’s endorsement:

  2. Who wants the endorsement of a guy (@EricCantor) who lost in perhaps the greatest upset in the history of Congress?

    Every once in a great while, I find myself agreeing with a Trump comment. I think this is the second time. I feel so ashamed.

    I have to keep pinching myself to make sure I’m not dreaming this. The Republican party is falling apart before our very eyes, the inmates have run a successful coupe and are now firmly in charge of the asylum.

    Maybe he’ll ask LePage or Palin to run as VP, dare I dream?

  5. In the Fall of France, in the spring of 1940, the French asked Churchill to commit 25 squadrons of fighters to help in an action that Churchill’s advisors counseled against.

    Reluctantly Churchill declined, and History shows that those 25 squadrons helped win the Battle of Britain in the late summer of 1940…which, in turn, gave the Allies a base from which to mount Overlord. In addition, the British were able to evacuate 338,226 men from Dunkirk (men who would fight Another Day)

    But a retreat, nonetheless.

    [Imagine] Sir Donald Trumply in the 1940 House of Commons yelling at Winnie:

    “LOSER!”
